La Moncloa de San Lazaro

La Moncloa de San Lazaro is a 3-star hotel in Cacabelos, housed in a renovated former 13th-century hospital on the Camino de Santiago route. Its rooms retain wooden floors and ceilings and have air conditioning, heating and a private bathroom; some also have a balcony, a spa bath, a minibar, a view or a seating area. Its rural style appeals both to people walking the Camino and to those who want to discover the heritage and food of El Bierzo.

The restaurant serves traditional regional dishes prepared with fresh local produce. There is also a café-bar, a shop selling local artisan products —such as wines and jams— and an exhibition room featuring works by local artists. The building combines its history as a hospital with wooden spaces in the restaurant and rooms. Ponferrada is 11 km away, and the Roman mines of Las Médulas, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are about a 30-minute drive away.
